i understand where you are coming from but i would argue the other way around. we are often too caught up with trying for an emotional connection with the characters that is not important in this film or rather the whole franchise of Godzilla. What matters is the action and the actions of the characters. the characters come as more of a secondary to what the franchise is truly about. The better question to ask would be "would the inclusion of characters that illicit an emotion response give or take away from the movies theme/message/image/etc?". And, just to think about this movie differently, consider this: the movie is talking about the usage of nuclear power. When you consider this, the movie becomes more complicated and 'special' since if you delve into it you will discover much more than you will expect.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5378e46369bedd5d7c83710dkwame DontDanceSun, 18 May 2014 12:48:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5378e46369bedd5d7c83710d
How many times are they going to re-make this movie?
Its worn out. Spend your time re-making something else like "Daddy's Boy", or "Soul Food", or "Back to the Future", or "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". I'm thinking about a real classic like "Gone with the Wind". Yeah, re-make those movies.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53720d7c6bb3f7277ebab4f6Mike CanadaTue, 13 May 2014 08:18:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53720d7c6bb3f7277ebab4f6
You're all boring and stuff. It's a monster flick, not Hamlet or Othello! Get off your high-horses! Go watch a indie period piece full of victorian mind-numbing female angst and leave the REAL movie watching to the BAD ASSES! Godzilla death ray IN YOUR FACE! AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5371911aeab8eafb71cb5a62Steve O'RourkeMon, 12 May 2014 23:27:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5371911aeab8eafb71cb5a62
Top photo: I thought the new Godzilla's face looked familiar somehow, and then it came to me - he's got the face of the old man from "Up'!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53711de469bedd825a8cc467TBJMon, 12 May 2014 15:15:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53711de469bedd825a8cc467
here's the thing. The only characters the audience care about are Godzilla and whoever the other monsters are. Thats what they want to see. I bet that a majority of the audience hopes Godzilla dominates everyone, humans included.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5370e12e69bedd93658cc46dRoger C.Mon, 12 May 2014 10:56:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5370e12e69bedd93658cc46d
I'm not surprised. Watched the old movies last week on Netflix. They are the sort of incredibly boring, WEIRD stuff that only Japanophiles and Japanese people could like. The 1998 Godzilla movie tried to make the series commercially appealing, but of course, the geeks shouted it down into oblivion. So now, they've tried to make a geeky movie that would appeal to them, but I think it's going to backfire badly. I'm staying away.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5370dbbdecad0490182b03a5Fred FlintstonianMon, 12 May 2014 10:33:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5370dbbdecad0490182b03a5
I'm not expecting much from it, popcorn flick
